Part 1 B:
This picture describes the great depression because they are barefoot and it seems like there's not
many crops, so there was a poor harvest. They don't seem very happy and everything looks dry and unpleasant.
Part 2 A:
Picture #1:
Describe what you see: I see 4 normal kids that are barefoot and look dirty but happy. Also, they seem like their friends or siblings.
What do you notice first? I noticed that they are barefoot.
What people and objects are shown? There's a little shed with no walls and there's a bucket behind them. They could be working in the fields.
Why do you think this image was made? To show how what the kids wore and their lifestyle.
What’s happening in the image? It shows the kids (probably siblings) just living their lives during the great depression and playing around.
What can you learn from examining this image? I learned that the way they dressed was very different and they seemed to be always barefoot.
Picture #2:
Describe what you see: I see a shack that seems to be a store but it looks very abandoned and closed. It looks to be in the middle of nowhere.
What do you notice first? I notice that there are no people in the picture and there seems to be a chimney in the background.
What people and objects are shown? There are two chimneys in the back and there's a little run-down store.
Why do you think this image was made? Maybe to show that many places like this became abandoned and left behind.
What's happening in this image? It shows the store but no people in the picture. It looks to be in the middle of nowhere and everything looks dried out.
What can you learn from examining this image? I learned that everything during this time seemed to be dry and abandoned.
Picture #3:
Describe what you see: I see a dad protecting his son or relative.
What do you notice first? I notice the man and the little boy are holding hands.
What people and objects are shown? It shows 2 African-Americans, a man and a little boy. They seem to be in a house with barely anything in it.
Why do you think this image was made? To show there wasn't much to do, and they had no furniture in the houses.
What's happening in this image? A little boy is holding his father's hand and they are barefoot and look like they haven't showered.
What can you learn from examining this image? I learned that families stayed close and everyone was usually barefoot and there wasn't much furniture in the homes.
Part 2 B:
Part 3 A:
All of these people are very hardworking people. It seems to me that their jobs were mostly were difficult and they had to work hard to succeed. For example the maid Mrs. Marie Haggerty was always being tested for being honest. While she was making one of the beds, there was a 5 dollar bill that the house owner had put there to see if she would take it. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/marie.html. All these people see everyone in an equal way and they're very modest. A man at colonial park said that God made everyone breathe the same air so everyone is equal no matter how much money they have.http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/manpark.html. Even women sometimes did the same work as the men. For example, Mrs. Elizabeth E. Miller once cut up a hog before her husband got home and he could not believe she had done it all on her own. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/eliza.html. To some people, everyone was equal no matter what gender or how much money they had. Even back then there were still many bad things going on in places like New York. A man at Eddie's bar said that it's so wrong how they cheat the poor people out of what they have and there's a lot of shooting, cutting, and robbing in the late 1930s. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/manbar.html. All of these people work very hard in their jobs even though they might not enjoy it. Since all of them don't have much money, they work hard to make a living and so they're able to afford daily things like food or where they live. When Bernice first came to New York from Bermuda, she thought rent-parties were disgraceful. But when her husband left her with a sixy-dollars-a-month apartmant while she had no job, it was her only choice but to work there to afford the apartment. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/wpaintro/manbar.html. These people represent the time period because they didn't have many options for emplyment and the jobs that they did get, didn't give much money. It was very difficult for these people and it wasn't very enjoyable. Because of the economic crisis, all these people had to give up many things.
